I’d not want to be distracting from worship time by my clothing causing others in the congregation to lose their focus on God. Dressing modestly or plainly is not a dishonorable thing.
-
All clothing is just man’s traditions, but there’s no use in intentionally distracting others.
-
Such a question brings all the legalists out of the wood work.
-
Only at the beach ?
-
No
-
If it does not reach the ankle, then it’s too short. ?
-
No
-
no

No, she can wear whatever she wants as appropriate for the situation/environment. Same goes for men.
-
The Bible does not address this specifically, however it does tell us not to be stumbling blocks to others. Christian women should be modest, but not out of legalism, but out of love for your neighbor!
-
No lol. Looking like little house on the prairie is not a prerequisite for Christianity.
-
We have to do all things for the glory of God.wearing have different meaning eg.Adultery cloth ,etc….
-
No but it must be modest. Anything above the knees is a no no for me.
-
I wouldn’t say so. But modesty is. For men and women.
-
No, you can dress modestly even wearing pants. I come from a church where the women are required to wear skirts while being up at the altar. Cannot tell you how many times I have heard perverted things from men (ministers btw) even wearing a “modest” skirt.
-
No
-
No modest
-
No, that’s a man-made rule
-
no haha!!!
-
I would call it more of a why then what, wanting attention and something be normal is different
-
Biblical no they don’t have to. Altho people Have different ideas of what modest looks like
-
Don’t cross dress, don’t be extravagant, don’t dress promiscuously or obscenely, you’re probably fine beyond that. The Bible doesn’t contain a dress code, just a few basic morals.
-
What in the world does clothing have to do with salvation?
-
Ask yourself when choosing clothing (any person) “is what I am wearing glorifying God or myself?” I know our society tells us (especially women) “wear whatever you want, do you, show off whatever skin” but if you (anyone) are choosing to wear something that causes another to stumble…rethink your outfit. We are supposed to consider others more than ourselves also.
-
No. A long skirt can cover an evil heart. Pointless rule
-
Women read the epistle of Paul
-
I would ask myself that a lot. I come from a church where it is required to wear long skirt. I used to dislike it so much because all my life I’ve worn Jeans. I took a while to get used to it and even to like it. I told myself, this is where I feel Gods prescense, this is where God works in me and has healed me, this is where he put me. So if I want to stay here (because finding a good church with out doctrine is hard) I will follow it. Out of reverence for the pastors.
I am also developed in my lower body so I constantly get cat called and disrespected verbally when I wear jeans because they do accentuate my figure. So wearing skirts helped minimize that a lot.
I think it’s just a heart thing. Your heart will change or not depending on your willingness. Either it’ll come from you or God will put it in you.
-
No. Wear what you are comfortable in. Present yourself to God as he would like to see you dress.
-
I hope not. Lol
-
If you are not in the business, don’t advertise… just dress properly, don’t be a stumbling block, man are weaker than woman.
-
Paul Washer said that if your clothing acts as a frame for your face you are good. If it acts as a frame for your body…not so much.
-
Why do christian women need to wear long skirts?
-
No
-
Not necessarily. It’s a fruit , if we truly changed , you aren’t goin to feel comfortable in a mini skirt .. Like my wife . She changed her ways she dressed because of her conviction .
-
No. People get that from (I think it’s Deuteronomy) where the Bible says women are not to dress like men. The thing is, Jews wore clothes very much like what dresses are today.
All that matters is that no one crossdresses. -
Read my above comment before this verse. This is the verse I was talking about:
“A woman shall not wear a man’s garment, nor shall a man put on a woman’s cloak, for whoever does these things is an abomination to the Lord your God.
Deuteronomy 22:5 -
No, but modesty is a must
-
The only thing that’s necessary is godly modesty
-
Traditions of men makes the words of God of no effect.
-
Clothe yourself to accent your face, not your body.
-
Its not about long or short U hav to dress modestly
Ur body is the Temple of th Holy spirit -
No. No. And No. Christians are not to be “legalistic” in attitude or gender, we aren’t in some kind of cult. Let us dress in keeping with our worth, as both men and women, and to dress in proper attire for our status accorded to us in Christ. We can be expressive and as stylish or creative as our personality, because we all have a unique individuality. We aren’t robots, for goodness sake! We don’t need uniforms. However, let us always remember that we represent Christ – not some stuffy idea of Christianity.

No
-
No. Christian women should be able to wear whatever they want as long as it’s modest and glorifies God.
-
No
-
No.
-
Absolutely not
-
Some churches years ago would teach or expect the females not to wear pants and only skirts or dresses. But the Bible does not explicitly say that. ?
-
Not exactly. They shouldn’t wear revealing clothing, but dress modestly.
-
These is legalism and has nothing to do with God. It’s almost cultish! Dress modestly, and serve God with all your heart, at home and in public. Being a woman doesn’t mean you have to work from home, being a slave, either.
-
As long as Christian women are comfortable, confident, beautiful, reputable and respectful (in what they dress up) before our Almighty God, their parents or guardians (if minor or dependent), themselves (if independent), their husbands or children (if married), the church and society at large, I am grateful and thankful.
-
No.
-
It is necessary for a woman to dress like a woman and to dress modestly.
-
The bible says that women cannot wear men’s clothing and men cannot wear womens clothing. Pants tailored for women are womens clothing and are therefore acceptable. For some reason men dont have skirts but I dont have a problem with that lol. Well I guess there are kilts, but that is cultural and not considered a form of cross-dressing since they are specifically for men. Hmm.
-
women are to dress accordingly and modestly, and to avoid men sinning because of them. :)))
-
Is it necessary to post this type of question? ?
-
Ask God and you’ll find your answer.
-
Whether man or woman we should dress in a way that makes our brother or sister in Christ to stumble.
-
wear anything you want but be sensitive to the person who might stumble of what you’re wearing, don’t allow yourself to be an instrument of their sin
-
In today’s society…I bet if you wear a short skirt to church, there is at least (if not numerous) men that will have an imagination go straight to the gutter.
-
No!!
-
honestly sun dresses are very decent and women look beautiful on them like it’s not lustful for men in that sense at all but it is still very cute to look at in an admiring way (at least for me, idk about other guys) what do y’all think?
